#53 Torico

Congrats, Torico! Please email Stacey at slschaf771@aol.com to accept your prize!

Here is some applause from the crew...

I love Torico's card! All of the patterns and colors just go together amazingly well!

Torico's card was a wonderful take on the colours and squares in the inspiration photo. Had a very "cozy" feel to it.

Torico's card has the perfect choice of colors/patterns. Love how the wood button and jute twine finish it off so nicely.

The Show Stoppers for the Cozy Quilt challenge are...

#81 Meghan

Love Meghan's take on the challenge...So pretty! Even though it's somewhat clean and simple, it still has the comforting texture that reminds me of a cozy quilt!

Meghan was my fave, her quilt design is impeccable and I love the solids mixed with one print.

What I like about Meghan's card is that she took the inspiration photo and came up with a totally different pattern. Love the colors and design.

#36 Michelle Bala

Michelle created a beautiful quilted and stitched heart ending up with a lovely clean and layered card.

Love the pretty patchwork heart on Michelle's card. Perfect colors and fabulous patterns.

#21 Harriet Skelly

I love the bold colors on the white background. The subtle differences in tones is such a great touch on Harriet's simple quilt squares and creating them at an angle made this card a real standout.

Join us tomorrow morning for a new challenge and sponsor!

Congrats, Deepti! Please email Stacey at slschaf771@aol.com to accept your prize!

Here is some applause from the crew...

Love that Deepti looked past the obvious and went with the colors and elements for her card!

So many wonderful elements on her card! Love the cork ring, chevrons and vellum sentiment tag. Fabulous focal cluster!

I adore the variety of textures and patterns on Deepti's card... the cork circle, the vellum sentiment, the chevrons and dots...it's wonderfull. And the golden touch with the leaves is so rich.
